Runners are set to follow an out-and-back route for the Hokie Half Marathon, which starts and finishes near the Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport, along Research Center Drive. From there, the course makes roughly a clockwise figure-eight loop through Blacksburg, spending several miles on the Huckleberry Trail, a 5.7-mile-long paved path for runners, walkers and bikers between Blacksburg and Christiansburg, on the old rail line between the Merrimac Mine and the Cambria Depot.
